Boynton Beach Arrest Record Search

The Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office has an arrest and jail search portal that covers Boynton Beach and the rest of Palm Beach County. The tool is name-based. Enter a first and last name to search. Results come back quickly and show booking data, charges, mugshots, and custody status for people in the system.

When Boynton Beach police arrest someone, that person is taken to a PBSO detention facility. The booking happens there. Staff take fingerprints, a mugshot, and enter the charges.

The online search only shows current inmates in most cases. If someone was arrested in Boynton Beach and already released, they may not show up. For older records, contact PBSO directly or use the statewide FDLE database.

Clearing a Boynton Beach Arrest Record

Under Section 943.0585 of the Florida Statutes, you can apply to have an arrest record expunged if the charges were dropped, dismissed, or ended in acquittal. Sealing under Section 943.059 is another option. It hides the record from most public searches but leaves it open to certain agencies like law enforcement.

Start by getting a Certificate of Eligibility from FDLE. The fee is $75. Processing takes about 12 weeks. After that, you file a petition with the Palm Beach County court. The FDLE seal and expunge page has the forms you need. Boynton Beach residents looking to clear an arrest from their record should begin there. Not all arrests qualify.
